While the rest of the world's photographers had gone digital the School of Journalism's department head thought we should have a sense of history and designed Photo 304 to give it to us. It wasn't a required course but it was highly recommended if you wanted favorable graduate reviews. Instead of using contemporary cameras and digital imaging software the co...
“Fifty States in fifty days! Are you fucking insane?” Nick shouted into the phone in disbelief. Great publicity or not, he did not like the idea of that many tour dates stacked back to back. “Think about it, Nick,” Jerome, Nick’s agent, pleaded. “Tears of My Soul, is a great album, but to get on Billboard, we need to market it. The dates are lined up and th...
Tina and Gary were on their last night in the mountains and it had been a real fun weekend. They came there with a group and the entertainment supplied by the lodge had been fun. There had been numerous outings and the night life was wonderful. There had been a barbecue and dance the night before and Tina as usual had enjoyed it. She was twenty four and Gar...
The quiet buzzing of my cell wakes me. It is 4:30a and I quickly grab the cell so it doesn't wake up Blake, if it hasn't already. I silence my cell and slip out of bed to take the call in the hallway. "Hello?" "Courtney, this is dispatch. I was wondering if you could come in early to start your shift. Someone got sick and we need to make sure the squad is...
My day started off on a wonderful note. Being so tired from work the last few days had me in bed earlier than normal last night to ensure I had enough rest for the long day ahead of me today. Feeling the sun rays kiss my face softly began to stir me from my deep slumber, dreams of an unknown man floating through my mind. I couldn't recall what he looked lik...
The neon sign outside said The Back Room, or at least it was supposed to. Three of the letters had burned out and never been replaced, so what it actually said was The Broom, and that's what it was called by its degenerate patrons. It could generously be called a bar, but in truth it was a hole in the wall. The pool tables were scratched to hell, and used le...
The events that follow in this story are, as far as I can remember, entirely true, except for the time frame - we didn't meet and go camping the next day. The names have been changed to protect the not so innocent. I also want to thank lowercase and turtlecrossing for taking the time to edit my story and offer some much needed suggestions. I hope you enjoy i...
Not The Usual Day At The Office As I walked into the office, I felt myself heave an overly loud sigh of distress... When did this job from Hell ever end? I thought to myself. I swear, some days I just felt like crawling in a hole and dying, some days I felt like committing suicide, and the cause of it all was my boss, my overly commanding boss. If there was...
It was a Friday night. Another night at the club with my good friends. I was wearing black jeans, a white undershirt that dipped low enough to show the top curves of my breasts, and a long-sleeved button up shirt, opened just enough so that my cleavage peeked out. I swear, my tits could talk that night. I don't usually feel like I look hot, but I felt hot...
David pulled into his driveway shortly after 5 and walked through the kitchen door. The most heavenly sight and smell greeted him. David took the few short steps to Kate, and nuzzled into her neck as she tilted it slightly. "Something smells wonderful and I can't decide if it is you or your cooking." David said deeply inhaling Kate's perfumed neck. "Maybe...
